Nothing More, Nothing Less

Imogene Cunningham - Black Lilly (circa 1920s)

It is a blessing to awaken in the depth of the night, in that long embrace between the first kiss of midnight and the final cry of dawn.

You can "meditate" without "meditating." You can hear the darkness and see the silence.

Turning heart/mind in upon itself, you will realize that you are nothing more than a cup, and nothing less than a chalice.

And that you hold nothing more than a shimmering emptiness, which is nothing less than the whole of the throbbing universe.

Yes.

-- Richard Power
